# Upkr
|
|
|
|
Upkr is a simple general purpose lz packer designed to be used in the [MicroW8](https://github.com/exoticorn/microw8) platform.
|
|
The compressed format is losely based on [Shrinkler](https://github.com/askeksa/Shrinkler) with the main difference being that
|
|
Upkr doesn't differnetiate between literals at odd or even addresses and that I went with rANS/rABS instead of a range coder.
|
|
|
|
At this point, Upkr should still be considered unstable - the compressed format is not very likely to change but I still want
|
|
to keep that option open a little longer.
